"Growing up I could never sit still; I marched to the beat of my own drum, I wandered (a lot), was adventurous and always fearless!"

Let’s just say I found things out the hard way - and this all still holds true today. I have forever followed the overpowering fire inside me, that passion and curiosity, wherever it may have lead. Sometimes that meant changing schools; sometimes it meant moving cities, but it was all a part of my journey to find my way home. Now it’s creating a space in my hometown for people as crazy as me, to come sweat, enjoy, work hard and retreat. I’ve come full circle and found my livelihood with The Study.

As I mentioned, I was, and always will be, a busy body. It took me from dance to running, from Spin to Barre and everywhere in between. It fascinates me what our bodies are capable of and I am forever interested in pushing the boundaries.

Let’s start with Spin. I became a certified spin instructor after getting absolutely addicted to the feeling I got walking out of every class. Don’t get me wrong; it’s never pretty- sweat dripping in my eyes and down my back, hair out of control and legs that feel like Jell-O. I never felt better! Teaching is a way for me to learn more about it, push a little harder and become surrounded in the world that is Spin. Plus, I get to pick the music- bonus!

Barre has a real soft spot in my heart as I grew up dancing. It reminds me of being back at the barre in ballet. And I know what you’re thinking- no you do not need to be a ballerina to do barre! Using my knowledge from dance I was able to pick up on Barre so quickly and have been hooked on the tiny movements with huge impact ever since! It’s a must!

For me, classes are not only about the workout, but creating relationships, a community and doing something badass with 30 other like-minded people. It’s about personal growth, creativity, hard work, love and passion. Bringing personality and inspiration into a workout. It’s an epic adventure for the mind, body and soul- and boy that is just the beginning. So let’s grow together, sweat together and learn; because learning is living. So live on my friends- let’s create something fearless together.
